My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira

2.0

We’re in pre-Civil-war Albany, New York, home of Mary Sutter, a midwife. Mary is a serious young woman whose wishes to become a surgeon have been dismissed on every side. She sees the war as an opportunity to get what she wants – and get away from her twin sister. This is a very interesting tale, but I would have liked to read more about the midwifery; and honestly, I don’t have the stomach to read about amputations and yucky war stuff. If you are a Civil War buff, I do think you would enjoy this one – it’s just not my thing.
